Diagnostic accuracy of clinical indicators of Imbalanced nutrition in pediatric patients submitted to chemotherapy.

To analyze the accuracy of clinical indicators of nursing diagnosis, Imbalanced nutrition: less than the body requirements in pediatric patients undergoing chemotherapy. A cross-sectional study was carried out in a pediatric oncohematology unit. A total of 123 children aged 5-18 years were evaluated. The Standards for Reporting Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (STARD) protocol was used. Latent class analysis was performed to obtain sensitivity and specificity of clinical indicators. The diagnosis was identified in six children (5.23%). The most frequent clinical indicator in the study was report of food intake less than recommended daily allowance (n = 61; 49.6%), followed by excessive hair loss (n = 49; 39.8%), misperception (n = 42; 34.1%), satiety immediately upon ingesting food (n = 32; 26%), lack of information (n = 30; 24.4%), and pale mucous membranes (n = 22; 17.9%). The 10 indicators that sensitivity and specificity were statistically superior to 50% were food intake less than recommended daily allowance, misperception, insufficient interest in food, lack of food, hyperactive bowel sounds, body weight 20% or more below ideal weight range, insufficient muscle tone, food aversion, abdominal cramping, and misinformation. The clinical indicators Food intake less than recommended daily allowance and Misperception can be considered the most important indicators for the initial inference of the diagnosis due to their high values of specificity and sensitivity. It is essential that nurses provide targeted and qualified assistance based on the signs and symptoms presented by patients, as they will be able to design appropriate interventions to obtain the desired results.

Clinical indicators and aetiological factors of sedentary lifestyle in patients with arterial hypertension.

AIMS: The aim of this study is to verify the clinical validity of clinical indicators and aetiological factors of sedentary lifestyle in individuals with arterial hypertension. BACKGROUND: Diagnostic validation is performed to expand nursing taxonomies and to revise or confirm the described concepts. New elements listed in the literature and those identified by the NANDA International definition for sedentary lifestyle need to be evaluated. DESIGN: This is a cross-sectional and diagnostic validation study. The STROBE guidelines were used in this study. METHODS: Two hundred and fifty subjects aged over 18 years were evaluated. The diagnostic status of the participants was obtained by latent class analysis. Logistic regression was used to identify aetiological factors with the manifestation of sedentary lifestyle, considering a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: A total of 57.8% of the study participants met the diagnostic criteria for sedentary lifestyle. The clinical indicators with high sensitivity were as follows: "Average daily physical activity is less than recommended for gender and age"; "Does not perform physical activity during leisure time"; "Preference for activity low in physical activity" and "Overweight." The significantly related factors associated with the diagnosis of sedentary lifestyle were as follows: "Insufficient knowledge on physical activity," "Lack of time," "Negative self-perception of health," "Lack of security," "Lack of appropriate place," "Lack of motivation," "Activity intolerance," "Lack of sports ability," "Having a partner," "Using public transportation," "Perception of physical disability," "Pain," "Having a job/studying," "Laziness," "Impaired mobility," "Living in an urban area," "Education in a public institution," "Female gender," "Lack of confidence to practice physical exercise," "Education level," "Age" and "Lack of social support for the practice of physical exercise." CONCLUSION: Four out of eight clinical indicators had a good adjustment by the latent class analysis. Of the 27 aetiological factors, 22 were significantly associated with sedentary lifestyle. RELEVANCE TO PRACTICE: The correct identification of sedentary lifestyle and its elements supports care planning, especially for health promotion and disease prevention.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relevance of clinical indicators and the clarity and precision of conceptual and operational definitions of the diagnosis Impaired gas exchange. METHODS: Content analysis, by 39 nurse judges, divided into the phases of conceptual definition of the phenomenon of interest, construction of the structure of the phenomenon of interest and analysis of the judges on the built structure. RESULTS: From the 22 indicators, 21 were considered relevant Impaired gas exchange. The indicators that obtained absolute relevance were Cyanosis, Hypercapnia, Hypoxemia and Tachycardia. The indicator Headache upon waking did not show any statistically significant relevance for the diagnosis. All conceptual and operational definitions were clear and precise. CONCLUSION: The indicators listed for Impaired gas exchange were relevant to the phenomenon, except Headache upon waking because it does not correspond to a safe manifestation to identify the diagnosis, according to the analysis of the judges. Each conceptual and operational definition was adequate for its indicator.

Nutritional Deficits In Children With Cancer: A Situation-Specific Theory.

PURPOSE: To construct a situation-specific theory (SST) to represent nutritional deficits for assessing children with cancer. DATA SOURCES: Literature review. DATA SYNTHESIS: The SST included the definition of key concepts, a pictorial scheme, propositions, causal relationships, and evidence for nursing practice. CONCLUSIONS: It was possible to characterize the elements as antecedent and consequent clinical factors to allow for an understanding of the existing relationships between them and their temporality. These elements differed considerably from those included in NANDA International. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: This study provides additional information so that nurses in clinical practice can infer the presence of nutritional deficits in children with cancer early, given the risk already inherent in the diagnosis of cancer and treatment.

A Middle-Range Theory for Nurses to Diagnose Ineffective Infant Feeding Patterns.

PURPOSE: To construct a middle-range theory, based on the Roy adaptation model, for nurses can diagnose an ineffective infant feeding pattern. DATA SOURCE: Scientific findings were used through a literature review and the concepts of the Roy model. DATA SYNTHESIS: The theory indicated new elements for the diagnosis: 12 etiological factors and 13 clinical indicators. Most of those are not contained in the NANDA taxonomy. CONCLUSION: The middle-range theory for these diagnoses highlights the need for a review of the components present in the taxonomy. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: This approach guides research on nursing diagnoses to revise the content of the theory and to expand its concepts and elements for the diagnosis of an ineffective infant feeding pattern.

The factors related to a sedentary lifestyle: A meta-analysis review.

AIMS: To compare factors associated with the sedentary lifestyle described in the literature with the factors listed in NANDA International. DESIGN: Systematic review with meta-analysis of factors associated with a sedentary lifestyle in adolescents, adults and older people. DATA SOURCES: An electronic search of PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL and Latin America and the Caribbean Literature on Health and Science databases conducted in May 2016. REVIEW METHODS: Descriptive data were extracted according to a standardized form. The odds ratios for each etiological factor associated with a sedentary lifestyle were extracted directly from the articles or calculated from the data described therein. The meta-analysis was conducted for factors that were investigated in more than one study. RESULTS: Thirty-five articles were included. The statistically significant factors were: lack of social support, of physical space, of time, of motivation, of sports skills and of interest in physical activity, intolerance to activity, being retired, living in a low-income country, laziness, not having a job/studying, low socioeconomic status and level of knowledge about physical activity, female gender, living in an urban area, negative self-perception of health, using public transportation, being in the oldest age group in the study and perceived physical disability. CONCLUSION: The new factors associated with a sedentary lifestyle and those already included in the NANDA International classification will lead to better clinical guidance for nurses. IMPACT: Knowledge about these factors can contribute directly to public health policies.

Validação de conteúdo do diagnóstico de enfermagem padrão ineficaz de alimentação do lactente / Content validation of the nursing diagnosis ineffective pattern of infant feeding

A prática de enfermagem vem ganhando subsídios para seu aprimoramento e uma das ferramentas utilizadas para isso é a realização de estudos de validação diagnóstica, sustentados em uma base teórica consistente. Assim, o presente estudo tem como objetivo verificar a validade da estrutura do diagnóstico de enfermagem Padrão Ineficaz de Alimentação do Lactente (PIAL) mediante a realização de duas etapas, a saber: construção de uma teoria de médio alcance (TMA) e análise de conteúdo por juízes. A primeira etapa do estudo, realizada no período de Março de 2016 a Julho de 2017, concretizou-se por meio de uma ampla busca na literatura, com o auxílio dos descritores: feeding patterns, infant nutrition disorders, deglutition disorders, sucking behavior, infant, feeding behavior, feeding and eating disorders of childhood e nutririon disorders a partir das bases de dados Medline, Lilacs e Scopus. Destaca-se que os estudos elencados a partir dos descritores acima desencadearam novas buscas através de suas referências. Ao final foram selecionados 60 estudos. A TMA permitiu a identificação de 12 fatores etiológicos para a ocorrência de PIAL e 13 indicadores clínicos. Destes resultados, cinco fatores já faziam parte da estrutura trazida na NANDA-I. Todos os indicadores clínicos elencados foram identificados pela TMA. Os achados da primeira etapa foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo por enfermeiros juízes, constituindo a segunda etapa do estudo, realizada entre Agosto e Novembro de 2017. A amostra desta etapa consistiu em 23 juízes. Foi adotado um índice de validade de conteúdo (IVC) de 0,9 para adequação do item avaliado. O teste de Wilcoxon foi utilizado para obtenção destes valores. Dos 12 fatores etiológicos, Deformidade orofaríngea, Padrão inadequado de oferta alimentar, Refluxo gastresofágico, Mecanismos de sucção insatisfatórios, Episódios convulsivos, Uso prolongado de sondas enterais e Prematuridade foram validados pelos juízes. Quanto aos indicadores clínicos, com exceção de Coloração de pele e mucosas prejudicada, todos os outros indicadores tiveram seu conteúdo validado. Para os elementos que não atingiram o IVC esperado, foram realizadas alterações conforme sugeridos pelos juízes. Os achados do presente estudo confirmam a inconsistência estrutural pertinente ao diagnóstico PIAL trazido pela taxonomia NANDA-I, ressaltando a necessidade de validação diagnóstica nas três vertentes ­ validação teórica, validação de conteúdo e validação clínica. Desse modo, sugere-se que os resultados deste estudo sejam submetidos à validação clínica em população específica.(AU)

Diagnósticos de Enfermería relacionados con la política nacional de promoción de la salud brasilera / Diagnósticos de enfermagem associados à política nacional de promoção da saúde / Nursing diagnoses associated with the national policy for health promotion

Objective. To identify the relationships between nursing diagnoses proposed by NANDA-I taxonomy II and the priority themes (PT) of the National Policy for Health Promotion (PNPS in Portuguse). Methods. An integrative literature review was carried out in the Scopus, Cinahl and SciELO databases, using the descriptors: health promotion, food habits, traffic accidents, drugs abuse, environment and public health. The search considered scientific articles published between 2000 and 2016. Results. Twelve articles were selected to identify and explore nursing actions related to PT. It was identified that although the said taxonomy offers a Domain called Health promotion, there is a need to relate the diagnoses of other domains to include the health actions described in the aforementioned Policy. It was observed that there is an attention and concern of the nursing professionals to address topics such as the training of managers and the promotion of healthy eating. In relation to the priority themes promotion of safe mobility and sustainable development, no nursing diagnoses were identified due to the scarcity of diagnoses related to them in the mentioned taxonomy. Conclusion. Although the NANDA-I taxonomy presents a specific domain on health promotion, these are not sufficient to meet the needs of the priority themes proposed by PNPS.

Objetivo. Identificar las relaciones entre los diagnósticos de enfermería propuestas por la Taxonomía II de la NANDA-I y los temas prioritarios (TP) de la Política Nacional de Promoción de la Salud (PNPS). Métodos. Revisión integrativa de la literatura en las bases de datos Scopus, CINAHL y SciELO, utilizando los términos: health promotion, foods habits, accidents traffic, abuse drugs, environment and public health. La búsqueda consideró artículos científicos publicados entre 2000 y 2016. Resultados. Se seleccionaron 12 artículos para identificar y explorar las acciones de enfermería relacionados con el TP. Se encontró que, a pesar de que la taxonomía referida ofrece un dominio titulado Promoción de la Salud, hay necesidad de relacionar los diagnósticos de otros dominios para complementar las acciones de salud descritas en la PNPS. Se observó que existe una preocupación de los profesionales de enfermería por abordar temas como la formación de gestores y la promoción de la alimentación saludable. En relación con los temas prioritarios de la promoción de movilidad segura y desarrollo sostenible, no fueron identificados los diagnósticos de enfermería en la taxonomía utilizada. Conclusión. Aunque la taxonomía de la NANDA-I presenta un dominio particular de diagnósticos de promoción de la salud, estos no son suficientes para satisfacer las necesidades de los temas prioritarios propuestos por PNPS.
